Election special: Why does politics make us angry?

Learn how to keep the peace with friends and family even if political discussions lead to disagreements ahead of the general election.

Politics and the future of Aotearoa can spark vigorous debate but how do we prevent a disagreement from causing a split in the family or the end of a friendship?

Professor Natalia Chaban and Associate Professor Mike Grimshaw from the University of Canterbury's Media and Communication Department and Sociology departments will give you strategies on how to keep talking without ending up in strife at Spark Place on He Hononga, Tūranga's ground floor.
